SYNOPSIS
       char *logname( )

DESCRIPTION
       Logname returns a pointer to the null-terminated login name; it

       This routine is kept in /lib/libPW.a.

CAVEATS
       The return values point to static data whose content is overwritten
       by each call.

       This method of determining a login name is subject to forgery.

       This routine will cease to exist in the future.  Use cuserid, or a
       combination of getlogin and getpwuid instead.
